Best Trekking Agencies in Nepal

When tourists are coming to Nepal for trekking a very frequently asked question is – which trekking agency, or which trekking agencies, is/are the best in Nepal? Let’s help you with some insights on what to look for, and provide you with a few recommendations below.

Price obviously plays a role when choosing your trekking agency. When it comes to getting a once-in-a-life-time-experience-in-Nepal, and a safe one of course, the following factors are very relevant to consider as well:

Does the trekking agency provide insurance for each of its staff, joining the trekking tours? This parameter is relevant to ensure that safety is prioritized not only for you, being the customer, but also for the local staff hired by the trekking agency.

Is the staff of the trekking agency properly equipped? Some trekking agencies dispatch their porters and guides without proper equipment – this is obviously not good enough, and worst case could have dire consequences.

Does the trekking agency provide guides with valid guide certificates? While many factors go into getting a great guide, making sure that your guide(s) have actually been trained in how to guide and assist you, will certainly help.

Is the trekking agency licensed for carrying out trekking tours in Nepal? Some trekking agencies operate without licenses. These trekking agencies should be avoided as they basically operate on an illegal basis and therefore can provide no guarantee as to your safety, or their staff’s safety.

Is sufficient emphasis put on health and safety during your trek? While trekking is generally not dangerous it can indeed become harmful if the necessary precautions are not taken. Choosing a trekking agency with great safety standards and one which continuously follows-up and updates/upgrades its safety standards, and equipment, is very important.

Is the trekking agency carrying out your trek in a sustainable way, with as little negative impact on the environment as possible?

Does the trekking agency have a contract with a local helicopter emergency evacuation company, in case rescue is needed?

While some of the above factors can easily be found out before the trek, other factors only become apparent after you’ve trekked with the trekking agency, as only then will you know whether the trekking agency and the guide, inter alia, truly did take the necessary health and safety precautions.?.

While this article is not intended to promote Bookmundi each of our member agencies are being reviewed by the customers, after every trek, as only in this way can we ensure a high enough service and safety standard. If at any point in time a member trekking agency is not delivering a high enough safety or service standard we’ll have to take them off the site, until the issue in question has been remedied.

But, which trekking agencies are the best in Nepal? While we firmly believe in the capability and service level of each of the member trekking agencies available in Bookmundi, the following trekking agencies in Nepal deserve praise and attention (listed in random order) for their consistently high service levels, great management, and qualified trekking guides:

Hey there,
There are many trekking agencies who provide very good service in Nepal. Recently I visited upper mustang with another trekking agency than the ones listed above. They were professional and excellent for for their work. It was a wonderful time in mustang.

We fully agree, there are indeed other trekking agencies that provide a good service. We are merely listing the ones which we have found that provides a very good service, and very good value for money. We deal with many trekking agencies on a daily basis and have therefore gotten a good idea about which trekking companies are great and which ones are less great. I hope this clarifies.

Thanks for your question. Yes, it is indeed possible. It’ll be quite cold, but as long as bring sufficiently warm clothes it’s perfectly comfortable and doable. Anything else, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Hello! I have a great recommendation for your list!
I’ve done multiple trekkings with a trekking company in Nepal called By Mountain People. Before we booked the trekkings, we talked about the type of trekking we would like to do and owner Govinda talked to us about what would be the best fit for us. Their advice was so useful and really made our trip to Nepal even more awesome! When we were there, Govinda made sure everything was ok and even when we came back they still kept in touch. To everybody who’s planning on visiting Nepal, I am recommending By Mountain People because of their warm service, great trekkings and also their professional guides. If you’re looking for more information, you could check their website: https://www.bymountainpeople.com

Thanks for your recommendation on best trekking agencies in Nepal, but I found another one who needs to be on your list too. Up To Himalaya, probably best for Restricted area trekkings like Manaslu, Kanchenjunga, Upper Mustang etc.https://uptohimalaya.com
